How do Puffs tissues help prevent nose irritation?

Puffs Plus Lotion tissues transfer a light lotion onto the skin, creating a moisture barrier that reduces water loss and minimizes friction from frequent wiping, thereby helping to prevent nose irritation.

What makes Puffs tissues so soft?

Puffs tissues have cushiony softness, which refers to the tissue's bulk (substantial feel), cushiony thickness (plush, pillowy feel), and surface feel (texture against the skin). These all contribute to a more comfortable and gentle experience.

What makes Puffs tissues so strong?

Puffs tissues have wet strength, which refers to how well a Puffs tissue maintains its integrity and stays together when damp. This is important because it helps prevent tearing, reduces messy "blow through," and keeps hands cleaner, allowing tissues to last longer through use.

Mineral oil in Puffs Plus Lotion helps moisturize and hydrate the skin by supporting its surface barrier. It also helps protect already irritated skin by reducing friction during repeated wiping.
